Melvin Gordon is Ready for Games Without Fans Because the Chargers “Didn’t Have Fans Anyway”
Published:
Remember when Eagles fans flocked to California EN MASSE to watch the Birds beat the Chargers inside of a soccer stadium?
Great game. LeGarrette Blount ran for 136 yards in a 26-24 win that improved the future Super Bowl champions to 3-1.
The home team did not have many fans inside the stadium back then, which has prepared Melvin Gordon for a possibly similar situation this season, as we slowly exit the COVID-19 pandemic:
I asked former Chargers and current @Broncos RB @Melvingordon25 about the possibility of playing in “fanless stadiums” and his response was PRICELESS! #NFL pic.twitter.com/ErGo5tr2Oc

“Bro, we didn’t have fans anyway.”
Sad, but true, as James Hetfield once said.
Remember this gif of Jordan Hicks pumping up Eagles fans inside another team’s stadium? –
There are more Eagles fans than Chargers fans in LA @BleedingGreen pic.twitter.com/DZ6V4u2XYh
